Chapter 729: Yao's Rebellion 99

Cheng's face, but Dugu Cheng hurriedly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his cheek, his eyes glistening with moisture.Xiaoli looked at them like this, her eyes also became moist. These days, th..."I didn't expect, the Fourth Princess's interpersonal relationships are so good, this palace is late again."

Wind and rain, as she walked over in a stunning gown. After months apart, this person seemed even more profound and introspective, and her aura was increasingly regal.

Seeing Feng Lingxi, Feng Yu Xi's face was always wearing a half-smile and half-serious expression. She scrutinized Feng Lingxi carefully, her tone full of concern.

"Fourth Royal Wife, it has been months since we last met. How did you lose so much weight Is life in the Yao clan this harsh"

Feng Lingxi smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is right. The Yao Clan lives in a harsh land. Over the past few months, they haven't eaten well or slept well, so it's natural that they would lose some weight."

As dusk approached amidst the wind and rain, he raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lan Fei's maid.

"Tell Lan Fei that this palace has reunited with the Fourth Princess. The Fourth Princess won't be going to her place, she should come sit with this palace instead. We can visit her another day when we have time."

Feng Yu Xi's domineering attitude made Feng Ling Xi raise an eyebrow, displeased.

This Lan Fei is currently the apple of Du Gu Yan's eye, similar to the love the former emperor had for his empress dowager. It is said that no concubine in this palace dares to challenge Lan Fei. If she were to go to Lan Fei, it would directly provoke a conflict between Lan Fei and the Empress, and I fear that Lan Fei's days would become difficult, and she herself would be implicated.

"Your Majesty the Empress, my lady is unwell. With the Fourth Princess's presence in the palace, I would like to request her visit. Please grant your permission, Your Majesty."

"Presumptuous!"

"Amidst the wind and rain, Feng Yu Xi Li roared angrily, "Didn't you understand what this palace said Is there no doctor in this imperial hospital Does the Fourth Princess consort have the time to treat her"

"Not necessarily."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lan Fei's maidservant, who had a sullen and resentful expression. She probably didn't expect Feng Lingxi to stand on Lan Fei's side. Feng Yu Xi was instantly furious and glared at Feng Lingxi with warning in her eyes.

Feng Lingxi wouldn't pay any heed to her warning gaze. If she were truly afraid of her, they wouldn't have been fighting this long.

"Thank you, Fourth Royal Wife."

The maid of Lady Lan hastily thanked her and timidly glanced at the Empress. The disdain in her eyes didn't escape Feng Lingxi's gaze. Thinking of what the Dowager Empress had said, Feng Lingxi said to Lady Lan's maid, "I'll go with you to Lady Lan's."

"Fourth Royal Wife, what do you mean by this This palace wishes to see you. Could it be that you must wait until after seeing Lady Lan"

The wind and rain were drawing near, a warning in their intensity. She still refused to believe it, that Feng Lingxi would dare to openly disregard the face of the Empress. Now her power within the court was vastly different from before, she wasn't afraid, but she also had to consider those around her.

"Didn't the Empress already see me Besides, everything has a proper order. Since Concubine Lan is ill, as a doctor, it is only right for me to visit her."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and said to Lan Fei's maidservant, "Let's go."

Feng Yu Xi watched Feng Ling Xi prepare to leave, her hand waving. A maidservant stepped forward from behind and blocked her path, her fierce expression causing Feng Ling Xi to raise an eyebrow slightly, clearly displeased.

"The Shou'an Palace isn't far from here. The Empress wouldn't want to cause a scene in front of the Dowager Empress, would she"

Feng Ling Xi turned around and looked at Feng Yu Xi, "Every time I enter the palace, you have to intercept me once. Does the Empress Dowager want to repeat what she said last time with me again"

Feng Yu Xi's eyes grew colder, "Fourth Princess, your surname is Feng."

"I know, Your Majesty does not need to remind me."

"Do you know who this Lan Fei is"

Feng Lingxi shook her head. How could she know Lan Fei's identity She had been outside for months, how would she know that Dugu Yan had changed his daughter to another minister's family

She is Mo Huai Lan, the county princess of Pingbei from the Pingbei King's family.

"Who is King Pingbei"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "How come I've never heard of it"

Little Li hurriedly leaned into Feng Lingxi's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, King Pingbei was granted the title of king by the late emperor. The late emperor highly valued him and bestowed upon him the title of King Pingbei, stationed at the northern border. In this way, King is actually his teacher."

"In that case, I should see this Lan Fei."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yu Xi's face, which was ashen with anger, and felt helpless.

"Your Majesty, I shall go find Lan Fei first. Farewell."

Feng Yu Xi quickly grabbed Feng Ling Xi's arm, his eyes extremely cold. That warning gaze made Feng Ling Xi's eyes turn cold, her gaze falling on his hand gripping her arm, her voice frigid.

"Your Majesty, what would you like to do"

"Tomorrow, I'm returning to the General's Mansion. I will make things clear with you then."

Feng Lingxi returned with a cold smile, "Very well, see you at the General's Mansion tomorrow."

Shaking off her hand, Feng Lingxi followed Lan Fei's maidservant to Zhao Yang Palace, where the favored concubine resided. This place was more exquisite and luxurious than where the maternal concubine lived, clearly showing that someone had carefully taken care of it.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess has arrived."

"Please bring her in."

Lan Fei's voice was extremely pleasant. Feng Ling Xi just stepped into the hall and saw a gorgeously dressed beauty walking over. Her eyebrows revealed a spirit, and her vivacious and cute demeanor were beyond reproach. Seeing her, the smile on her face widened, and she hurried to her face.

"You must be the Fourth Princess, my name is Mo Huai Lan."

"Feng Lingxi has met Lady Lan Fei."

Mo Huilan hurriedly reached out to help her, smiling and saying, "Fourth Princess, don't be so distant. I've heard that in this capital city, you are the most welcoming person. Seeing you today, it is indeed true. You look very approachable."

Wind Lingxi listened to her praise, thinking that the attitude of the princess of King Pingbei towards her was somewhat more conciliatory.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has returned to the capital as well"

When it came to Dugu City, Feng Lingxi looked up at Lan Fei's eyes, her gaze full of excitement and joy. "When can I meet him I have something to say to him," she eagerly replied.

"Your Majesty, your status is different now. Be mindful of your words."

The maid-servant hurriedly pulled her mistress, the Lan Fei, reminding her.

"He is in the Imperial Study with the Emperor. If Lan Fei wants to see him, she should go now; he should still be there."

Just as Lan Fei was about to go out, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and hesitated.

"Perhaps another day. Today won't do; I can't go looking for the Fourth Prince, it wouldn't be proper."

Feng Lingxi, watching Lan Fei's playful personality, found herself feeling that she was putting in more effort than necessary to support Feng Yu Xi. Although Lan Fei had a strong background, she seemed too naive and might be outmatched by Feng Yu Xi.

"Does Lady Lan have anything she would like to say If it's convenient, would you like me to deliver a message for her"

Mo Huilan thought for a moment, waved her hand, and said, "There's nothing much to say. I just want to see him. It's been so long, I miss him."

Feng Lingxi frowned, thinking of Dugucheng

Could it be that her heart is as solitary as a lone fortress

But she had never heard Dugu City mention this Mowai Lan. This Pingbei King was the first time she had heard of him.

"Fourth Princess, please don't misunderstand. My mistress and Fourth Prince's relationship is actually just like that of good siblings, not the kind you think." Lan Fei's maidservant hurriedly explained, fearing that the Fourth Princess would misunderstand.

"Yes, yes, it's just a sibling relationship. I don't have any feelings for Fourth Prince."

Mo HuaiLan hurriedly agreed, that adorable expression made Feng LingXi smile.

"Lady Lan is truly adorable."r own manor"Mo Huilan retorted, her gaze unwavering in the face of Feng Yu Xi's menacing eyes."Your Majesty, remember that Concubine Long has been pregnant for almost three months and hasn't told the...
